A Strange Meeting.

There was strange meeting in the throng-
ing mass in front of the Royal exchange the
other day Here from early morning till
late night is a constant procession of people
There is no place in London where the crowd
is SO dense or where there is such variety of
people to be met. Right in the heart of this
throng at l o'clock the other day brother
living in Egypt met brother living in New
York. The brother living in Egypt was on
his way to call at banking house in the city,
while the New York brother was on his way
to the continent Neither knew that the
other was in England at the time, and their
meeting in the midst of this great strug-
Cling crowd upon a line where a seconds diff
ference would have resulted in their passing

ing which I do not think can be very easily

Duplicated Bridal Presents.

A social problem, which has been for years
a weighty one, has at length met solution
in Washington-Howc can the duplication of
bridal presents be avoided AT q recent wed
ding at the capital the friends of the bride
sent her mementoes in the shape OF cash.
Ten dollar gold pieces, in SUMS ranging from
$50 to $500, were considered appropriate and
welcome presents The young couple could thus
buy what they chose with the money. That
such precedent will meet with the recogni-
ton it deserves is doubtful There is some
thing unsentimental about cash which viii
doubtless offend the aesthetic taste of society.
But to those who have at their marriage been
overwhelmed with half dozen after dinner
coffee sets, eight or ten salad dishes, six or
seven oil lamps and innumerable cut glass
pitchers, the idea of $40 gold pieces appeals
with resistless fascination. Young people
about 10 wed may not be grasping, but they
are not 50 overcome by sentiment that they
do not realize the superiority Of Doodle over

A CHILD'S SKIN

MY little son. aged eight years, has been afiict-

scabs the skin raw, like q piece Of beefsteak.

A Man with an Annette.

There is funny little old man in Essex,
Mass, who is always eating Three meals q

He viii rise at o'clock in the morning and
eat slice of meat, some eggs, several pieces

Wax i'm the KeyhoIe

One afternoon recently Boston man found
his keyhole stopped with wax when he went
home in the afternoon. The police were asked
to try to catch the parties who had taken the
impression of the lock. The officers secreted
themselves in the house and prepared for a
nights watch for the thieves, who were ex-
pected to descend upon the place. But early
in the evening it was explained that the
governess who has sweet tooth, is in the
habit of carrying caramels in the same pocket
with her door key and some of the sweet
meats stuck to the key. She used it during
the day, and the waxy appearing substance
became scraped from the key and remained
in the lock.
A woman suffering from paralysis at the
Grand hotel, Monte Carlo, and who had beer
for long time unable to move, jumped from
her bed in alright when she felt the earth
quake shock, and ran down several flights Of
stairs.

When asked if they were in as bad con-
dition as reported north, she replied that
it was equally as bad as reported by
some, worse than reported by others and
not so bad as some exaggerated reports.
She was then asked the question II
the country was in as bad
condition as reported by Rev. John
Brown, and she mOdestly declined to
answer it, ssyirg she was aware OF the
fact that she was answering questions
propounded BY reporter. She was not
fully prepared to give her opinion OF the
drouth-stricken district but that she
would soon, over the two little words,
"Clara Barton" She said, however, that
she was well pleased with Texas, that
it was grand state, and while
the northwestern portion was somewhat
short, as she expresses Il, the Legisla
ture had done beautifully and fully re-
deemed itself IN making an appropriation
Of 500 600 for the destitute, and with
the appropriations coming 10 from other
sources. she believed the worst had
passed. IL her opinion seed to plant was
needed now more than anything else
Since the rains the ground Wss
in good condition, and the people want
oats, wheat, etc, to plant, but cannot Sc
cure either, as they have no money or
credit. she is very hopeful and believes
we VIII have favorable weather, with
which ana energy and ludicious
management the great chasm
will soon be bridged over.
She believes the drouth will prove
blessing in many respects, from the fact
that 1t VIII reach the people not to De
wastefuI and take care of what they raise.
She Is in great sympathy with the people,
and speaks in the highest of
terms OF the way she has been
received by the people everywhere
she has been, though she did not
say whether the Red Cross would send
any aid or not. The general impression
is that through her influence some aid

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. I5.-The life of
Governor Richardson was endangered by
negro mad-man yesterday who de-
manded money or blood. Baxter Dewall,
black Hercules, walked up to the pri-
vate secretary and asked for the Gov
ernor. When asked his business, Dewall
said ne had been sent to the penitentiary
by Judge who told him that at the ex-
piratlOn of his sentence he would be his

"Now," said he, 81 own the State bank

He would not be put of and for time
with a large club he intimi-
dated the Secretary, who was
in such position he could
not get help. Police were te.ephoned for.
They tried 10 capture Dewall and a ter
rible struggle took place. The negro
fought in g most terrible manner and
the strength displayed was appalling.
Finally by the combined strength of half
q dozen men, DeWalI was secured and
taken TO the guard house. On his person
were found box Of cartridges and a
loaded revolver. If he could have seen

ProGIsIous activity at Duponts P"@der
Mills.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. G.-As
straw which shows which way the Euro
pean war wind blows, the people Of VIII
mingtor are attaching great deal Of i'm
pOrtanCe to the unusual activity at the
Dupont Powder Mills on the Brandyw:ne,
i few miles from that city. The mills
have never in their history been more
busy, and the men are worked night and
day in some parts of the great estaoli sh-
ment, which is turning ont black
powder, such as soldiers use, oy the tons.
The powdermakers are told that the or
ders now OH hand cannot be filed last
enough, and these indications of sn IN
precedeuted demand for the article has
strengthened the current belief that the
Duponts are shipping large quantities OF
explosives to France or Germany, and
that the war in Europe is coming surely
ia the spring. Just before the
FrsncC-Prussian war the mills

powder mills II the country, say that in
sll Of them there is almost as great actiy-
iLy as st the works on the Brandywine,
and while robOdy in the business IS will
ing TO admit that all this increased mar
u!scturlug of powder is because
OF demands and orders from
Europe, they evidently do not eX-
peCt people to believe their little
evasive answers and their stories
about sending the powder to the coal
mines. It is fact well known in marine
circles that the Duponts have been en-
de&vorng for some time past to have
large ConsiEnments OF goods sent to
France by transatlantic steamers from
New York. and that they have not been
successful in these endeavors. Recourse
was then had to sailing vessels, and in
quIries have been made fol- charters. The
shipping men say that the Duponts viii
now purchase vessels. There is de-
cided smell OF war in it, sill Of which can
not be very we'll disguised.
